The Blazin Saddle sauce has exactly the same taste and heat as the XXX, not much, to be
blunt. The flavour is OK but its certainly not going to blow you away with heat. Ive

add to the sauce collection.

they were labelled as Jalapenos ?, pity there were no store attendants around or I
would have set them straight.
